Hi guys

just encounter a fax problem, the scenario is like:

while receiving incoming fax and outgoing fax, after dial tone -> establish connection -> connection half way the signal will cut off/ hang up, in engage mode.
i checked the error details, it mentioned "Protocol Error"

Action taken:
1, initialize fax setting
2, direct fax line to phone point
3, change receive fax = 1 time
4, off communication protocol
5, use a analog phone to make call using the Fax Line= No Problem.

Result:
Outgoing fax seem Ok sometimes but incoming fax always drop or hang up after the connection establish.

anyone has this problem before?

I encounter similar issues when fax machine is hooked up to a voip fax line. Try turning ECM to OFF and set baud rate down to 9600. Do you know if fax line is digital or analog?

That is an analog fax line..

at last, you able to settle your voip fax line? i believe that is using SIP protocol right. there is an article showing VOIP connect to fax and need to change some setting, i believe i saw in this forum before.

Is there anything else using the fax line? For example, a point of sale machine?

First thing I check is the wall outlet wired correctly and is the phone cord in the correct jack (line not phone).
Flash the fax pwb firmware to latest
Turn ecm off
Turn baud rate to 9600
set to mmr/mh only
turn up the attenuation

If it does not work then have customer check the phone line.

This is not an analog phone if it has to go through a fiber optic modem.

Hi guys,

I betcha nailed it, VOIP can be a huge PITA and of course its always the machines fault, LOL.
